what about people that don't have access to a good power tap? (apartment dwellers, renters, etc.)

I've lived in two apartment buildings that had electric car chargers. In both buildings, the chargers were constantly engaged.

Hopefully some of that electric infrastructure money ends up putting chargers in private and public parking garages. I think that would give people more confidence that they could switch.

Related question: Once you charge an electric car, how long can it sit before it discharges on its own? Like how if you charge your cell phone, but even if you don't use your phone, eventually the batteries will still run out.

I don't drive much, so I wonder if it is practical for me to charge an EV in an apartment garage, then move it to another space and leave it for a week or two or three and it still be full?

A Tesla Model 3 loses around 1% charge per day idle

Depends on what is doing (see, Tesla sentry mode which keeps the cameras on) but otherwise self-discharge is well under 1%/day for most EVs
